CATASTROPHIC REMINDER -- MAN AS OLD AS COAL
As of today -- at long last -- truth no longer will play second fiddle
to the fiction, fantasy and fairy tales that have been dished out
for more than a century about man's origin and ancestry.
It marks the official end of the deceit, deception, collusion and
conspiracy that has long been perpetrated by arrogant, egotistical
members of the Scientific Establshment in and out of its hallowed
Halls of Learning.
Their monumental hoax on mankind has met its match with the
presentation of undeniable physical evidence that, multi-millions of
years ago, the good earth wasn't anything like what has long
been depicted by the scientific community.
For one thing, man -- in almost our present form -- existed while
coal was being formed, and our ancestors lived alongside
giant scorpions, dinosaurs and beasts with six-inch-high canine
teeth.
And man and animals had one thing in common. Both were
annihilated in some incredible catastrophe that blew them limb
>from limb and scattered their bones, teeth and soft organs
in all directions..
What happened next is a testament to the late, great Immanuel
Velikovsky who, more than a half-century ago, said the true story
of earth's -- and man's -- past is written in the rocks, visible for
all to see as part of the fossil record.
Eons ago -- before coal hardened -- some sort of fluid engulfed the
bones, teeth and soft organs just after the great catastrophe, causing
them to petrifiy and now offer a mindboggling horror story of
mankind's distant past.
That man existed during the Carboniferous Period also offers
proof that we could not possibly have evolved as suggested
by the Darwin Theory.
Rightly so, because the theory of the evolution of man never
possessed a shred of physical evidence in the first place.
Man could not -- and did not -- become such a magnificent machine
by a series of incredible accidents of nature since it's an
astronomical mathematical absurdity.
But, since we were spoon-fed such pablum by members of the
omniscient Scientific Establishment, most of us ate up every word.
These pompous asses were neither to be questioned nor challenged.
About a year after finding my first specimen of petrified bone between
coal veins in June 1981, I couldn't believe the incedible resistence
I was encountering in my pursuit of honest investigation.
My longtime friend, Clayton Lennon (1900-1996), warned me it
wouldn't be easy and one day, between puffs of his cigar,
summed up my despair quite eloquently .
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/edyournot.gif
Meanwhile, as the pseudoscientists' noses continued to grow,
so also did the arrogance of members of the Scientific Establishment
who had long lost the goal of a search for truth. The only important
thing to them, I soon learned, was to make no waves and concentrate
on protecting their vested interests.
Over time, they had become incredibly ruthless and bold, really
believing that -- as members of omnipotent Acadamia -- they could
do anything they damn well pleased and have no one to answer
to.
Since I have had a ringside seat over these past 22 years, I assure
you that it has included not only denial of physical evidence that
could -- would -- destroy the theory of the evolution of man but
actually tampering with that evidenceit -- and I have come right out
and named names.
Then, with brass testacles, the criminals were actually belitting
the victim, with character assassination leveled like a Gatling gun.
And even worse, the assault on truth was adamantly defended by
their colleagues.
Fortunately, for your grandchildren and mine, that day is over.
The pseudoscients' day of reckoning has finally arrived.
But it comes as no surprise. After all, they had beene forewarned:

TRUTH FINALLY CATCHES UP TO THE PERPETRATORS
OF DECEIT, DECEPTION, COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACY
===================================================
MAN AS OLD AS COAL
All Specimens Found Between Anthracite Veins
(Strata geologically dated at a minimum of 280 million years)
Here are just a few of thousands upon thousands of specimens
of petrified bones, teeth and/or even soft organs -- some human --
that I have discovered between two separate anthracite veins
in Northeastern Pennsylvania over the past 22 years.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/MVC-013F.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/pp/MVC-022S.JPG
Strange, according to scientific doctrine, they couldn't possibly
have been found in Carboniferous strata, dated at a minimum
of 280 million years.
You see, every scientific text book insists that no large land
animals, let alone man, existed back then. Hell, man wouldn't begin
evolving until multi-millions of years later, the pseudos proclaimed.
But the incredible arsenal of petrified bones, teeth and even soft
organs proves -- beyond doubt -- that man and large land animals
indeed had been around when coal was being formed. Otherwise,
their mortal remains could not have been preserved between layers
of anthracite as the result of a catastrophe beyond our wildest
imagination.
And, since this is the grim evidence that a catastrophe happened
before, there is no question that it could happen again.
Velikovsky provided evidence of catastrophes in his two books,
"Worlds in Collision" and "Earth in Upheaval," published back
in the early 1950s. In them. he offered undeniable evidence of
calamities beyond human comprehension but was ridiculed
and badmouthed by members of the Scientific Establishment.
Here's a copy of these two books, in paperback, and an explanation
why Velikovsky was treated with scorn and contempt, which is how
members of the Scientific Establishment have treated me for the last
21 1/2 years.
====================================================

http://edconrad.com/ebay/Petrifiedx/MVC-011S.JPG
====================================================
A longtime newspaperman, I figured -- when realizing I was getting
the shaft from the Scientific Establishment -- I'd get a fair shake
>from newspapers in an effort to tell my story.
I figured the editors would be genuinely interested in what might've
sounded like a farfetched story, except that it was backed up by
petrified bones, teeth and soft organs as old as coal.
Reporters from the Allentown (Pa.) Call-Chronicle and Las Vegas
Sun, to mention just two, were greatly impressed. But when their
stories appeared in print, it took my breath away. The articles were
completely negative, making me look like that proverbial horse's
ass.
Naturally, there was nothing I could do about it, so I had to give up
on newspapers completely. I had long known the New York Times,
Washington Post and Philadelphia Inquirer wouldn't touch it because
they had several opportunities to do so but bowed to their vested
interests and ignored me.
Ditto for the TV network news shows like "60 Minutes."
For the longest time, it appeared the world would never know the truth
about the catastrophe that decimated both man and animal while coal
was being formed.
Then a miracle happened -- along came the Internet. It gave me a way
to reach the pubic but, of course, the public wasn't paying attention
because members of the Scientific Establishment kept making me
look like a fool and an imbecile.
And, if you recall, they had been doing a mighty fine job of it
right up until yesterday. That's when members of the Scientific
Establishment got the second biggest shock of their lives, dwarfed
only by the attack on the Twin Towers.
Suddenly overnight, with the presentation of an arsenal of physical
evidence, the ridicule and character assassination have eased
somewhat.
Suddenly, their cannons ran out of ammunition, accusations that
I'm a liar and a fraud.
Suddenly, these Clown Princes of Sciences -- long having made
a joke at the expense of sacred Science -- finally realized that
their involvement in deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy
has caught up with them.
These Omniscient Buffoons have defended their colleagues
who, with incredible audacity, have made a mockery of physical
evidence, totally ignoring it and sometimes even tampering with it.
Thomas Alva Edison probably put in a nutshell what they were
doing for so long, and my dear friend Clayton was right on target,
too.
http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/quotesnew.gif
Of course, members of the Pseudoscientific Establishment had
been forewarned that, unless they cleaned up their despicable
act, some day they would get what they have long deserved.
http://edconrad.com/canals/hooton.gif
That day, fortunately, is here.
==========================================
========= SOME OF THE SPECIMENS =========
==========================================
The following is the very first discovery of petrified bone in
coal-bearing Carboniferous strata in June 1981.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/first.jpg
The specimen, which I found by accident, resembled a giant skull
and the Smithsonian expressed an interest after receiving a photo,
inviting me to bring it down to Washington so it could be examined
firsthand.
Three of its "experts" -- an anthropologist, a paleontologist and a
geologist -- looked it over carefully but, after a few minutes,
concurred that it was nothing more than a rock or concretion,
certainly nothng that had ever lived.
No one mentioned that a microscopic study of the specimen's
cellular structure would accurately identify whether it is or is not
bone. (I had no knowledge of this fact at the time and wouldn't
be aware of it until many months later)
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/thefactthat.gif
In any event, while preparing to leave the Smithsonian, I politely
asked if they would want to keep the specimen, perhaps to break
apart the jaw-like area to see if teeth could be found inside. The
three "experts" -- Joseph Brown and Robert McCurdy, the only
two names I remember -- laughed at me and said it would be
an absolute waste of their time.
About a month later -- rather discouraged -- I decided to search
the interior of the jaw-like area on my own. It began with a nail
to penetrate the rock hardness, then using all sorts of small tools
to reach inside and, strangely, begin pulling out what resembled
brownish dirt.
I was mysified that some sort of cavity existed and contacted
the Smithsonian about this -- but was ignored.
After several weeks of part-time labor, I found a pair of peculiar
objects inside. Photos were taken, greatly enlarged and sent to
Krogman, the bone expert.
Our friendship had begun months previous when I had driven
to Lancaster to show him the first strange secimen I had found
that had come from between coal veins -- the large skull that
the Smithsonian later dismissed as a rock.
Krogman studied the photo of the inclusion and then told
me over the phone that the object is definitely a premolar tooth
because "I can see a pair of cusps."
Here's the photo that Krogman had examined, with the dime
offering an indication of size.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-014S.JPG
The photo below shows another view of where the premolar was
attached.
http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/z1.jpg
Krogman suggested an infrared scan be performed and it was done
at American Medical Laboratories in Chantilly, Va. Here's the result
of the test:
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/graph.gif
This is what the laboratory stated in its official report:
http://edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/result.gif
It meant that the inclusion in the jaw-like area was neither a rock
nor a concretion but something that once lived.
When the scan was interpreted later, this fact was confirmed.
http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/compatible.gif
It also should be emphasized that microscopic study of the
skull-like object was conducted and Haversian canals -- miniscule
circles, the tell-tale sign of bone -- were visible.
It had prompted Krogman, at one point, to offer great encourgement,
as he followed the discoveries with great interest.:
http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/krogquote.gif
============================================
The following specimen was identified by Krogman as a petrified
human calvarium -- a skull with the eyesockets broken off -- after
he personally had examined it and even measured it with
caliphers, expressing pleasure with the results..
Krogman, who had been personally invited by the Egyptian government
when a Pharoah's tomb was opened in Egypt years before, is shown
holding the calvarium in the second photo.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z11calv.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/krogwskull.jpg
Moments after this photo was taken of Krogman with the specimen,
an associate -- a medical doctor -- walked into his office at the
Cooper Clinic in Lancaster, Pa., and he told him to come closer
to see "the oldest human skull ever found."
Two other photos of the specimen:
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-006S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-007S.JPG
Meanwhile, a CATscan revealed a second protrusion not visible
o the naked eye but located precisely where it would be expected
to be found in a human cranium.
Here's a copy of that scan:
http://www.edconrad.com/images/catcalv.jpg
This specimen also tested positive for the presence of Haversian
canals under microscopic scrutiny.
Additionally, American Medical Laboratories performed testing
of calculus analysis by crystallography on the specimen and
found "a composition of dried blood intermingled with a few
small crystals resembling calcium oxalate dihydrate."
The laboratory's official report follows:
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-012S.JPG
=============================================
Another petrified human cranium was found approximately
a year later only a short distance from where the human
calvarium was discovered.
It was -- still is -- embedded in a boulder that must weigh at
least 3,000 pounds.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skulla.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skullb.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/other1.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z2_2.jpg
The Smithsonian was sent a photograph and Raymond Rye,
musem specialist, replied in writing: "The object ... does resemble
the outline of a human skull ... We must do a microscopic study
of the outer rind to determine if it has the structure of bone."
http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/rr072782.gif
The Smithsonian had been mailed granules, as requested, then
weeks later replied: "X-ray analysis of the material reveals it to be
quartz, the most abundant material of the earth's crust. So, although
the enigmatic object exposed in the boulder may resemble a hominid
skull, its mineral compostion is definitely not that of bone."
http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/rr090982.gif
The fact is, "x-ray analysis" is NOTan appropriate test to identify
the presence or absence of cellular structure.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix5/textbook.gif
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/thefactthat.gif
Later, a microcopic photo of granules removed from the specimen
revealed the presence of Haversian canals.
Here's one of those microscopic photos of the cell structure:
http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/proof1.jpg
==================================================
This is a petrified human femur still embedded in shale, a near-cousin
of coal. Portions of the bulb ends have broken off.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z6femur.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z8femur.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/z7femur.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Spec/MVC-001S.JPG
Since a femur measures approximately one-fourth of a human
being's height, the femur belonged to someone at least 7 1/2-foot
tall.
=====================================================
This specimen was identified as a portion of a tibia by Krogman and
was subjected to one of the greatest cover-ups in the history of
science.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/newtibia.jpg
Andrew Macrae, then of Calgary University, performed fraudulent
testing when entrusted to examine its cellular structure and publish
the microscopic photos on his web page. Instead. he posted
microscopic photos of a rock or a concretion.
Macrae undoubtedly was advised and assisted by Paul Myers, then
of Temple University in Philadelphia and now at the University of
Minnesota.
When charged with participating in the scam, Myers adamantly denied
it. Then, when I suggested officials of Temple University check their
long-distance telephone calls during the time that Macrae was
"testing" the specimen in the summer of 1996, Myers suddenly admitted
in the talk.origins news group that he had made many phone calls
to Calgary University in that time span but on other business.
It didn't end there. Myers later admitted in talk.origins that he had
FLOWN to Calgary one weekend during that same time period and had
spent time on campus. He said he didn't even have a chance to say
hello to Macrae, claiming he was there on other business.
Here are two additional photos of the portion of the petrified tibia,
(known as EC96-001 for Macrae's fraudulent testing purposes).
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib2.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib1.jpg
In addition, a scanning electronic microscope (SEM) was used
to examine the interior surface features of this specimen to compare
it with cadaver bone at the same power magnification. These are
the photos at 2,000-times magnification..
http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/bones.jpg
(They would look incredibly similiar if the grains were lying in
exactly the same direction.)
The left photo in the first URL below shows what Andrew Macrae
posted on his web page, claiming it was the cell structure of
C96-001 and nothing like bone should look like (in the right photo).
The next two photos show EC96-001's true cell structure.
http://www.edconrad.com/canals/ts_compare1.jpg
http://edconrad.com/canals/slide1.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/canals/0505160x.jpg
It was just one of several fraudulent maneuvers perpetrated
by members of the Scientifiic Establishment over the past 21 1/2
years when the first specimen -- the large petrified skull -- was
discovered.
Additionally, American Medical Laboratories lter performed calculus
analysis by crystallography on EC96-001 and determined that it
"consisted predominately of dried blood and protein."
That report follows:
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-006S.JPG
==============================================
Here's an assorment of miscellaneous specimens, primarily portions
of petrified mandibles (jaw bones), found between the same coal veins:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-018S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-019S.JPG
A lung is a soft organ and, as such, many cotend it can never
petrify. However, in recent years it was established conclusively
that soft organs can indeed be subjected to the petrification process.
============================================
Here's a petrified gall bladder, and a CATscan revealed the presence
of a gall stone inside.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z5gall.jpg
This is one of the specimens that also was tested at American
Medical Laboratories via calculus analysis by crystallography.
It revealed the specimen "consists of a few small pieces of dried
blood," adding that "none of the constituents normally found
in urinary calculi are present." (which comes as no surprise since
the specimen it tested is petrified).
That report follows:
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-010S.JPG
============================================
Here are a pair of petrified fetuses.The large one, which has
been transformed to a coal-like substance, measures 6 1/2
inches in length.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-010S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-011S.JPG
===============================================
Here's a portion of a dinosaur foot embedded in slate (or shale):
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/z3dino.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-013S.JPG
It should be noted that a third "toe" was later found embedded
in the slate, where it would be expected to be. A video tape exists
showing the top cover of slate patiently being removed, revealing
the third "toe" just beneath the surface.
I should mention that the petrified femur and petrifed dinosaur
foot remain as you see them -- still embedded in slate (or shale)
-- the way they were steamshoveled from between coal veins.
They are somewhere in this photo, taken from approximately five
miles up, of scar-marked land that was strip-mined of its coal. But
they're still there if you'd like to search.
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/MVC-015S.JPG
=============================================
Here's a petrified handcrafted wooden handle which has been
transformed to anthracite. It also was found between the same
two coal veins.

============================================
Here's a portion of petrified bone still embedded in slate,
confirming that it's older than the material in which it was encased.
Obviously, that material had to be fluid or in a fluidy state for
something to harden around it.

(I accidentally dropped the giant tooth on the sidewalk in Hazleton,
Pa. -- too heavy for the paper bag --and the tip broke off but the
two pieces fit together almost perfectly.)

Here's another petrified fetus, this one still embedded in slate (or
shale).

================================================
The following is a portion of a giant prehistoric scorpion that was
identified as such by Wilton Krogman.
When the world famous bone expert examined this specimen
found between coal veins, he first mentioned that he had performed
countless disections of scorpions in college before attaining status
as one of the world's most respected authorities in human anatomy.
"What you have, Mr. Conrad (never Ed), is a portion of a giant
prehistoric scorpion," he told me.
When discovered, the specimen was broken in two parts but they
fit together perfectly.

This particular specimen was the subject of another cover-up
by members of the Scientific Establishment -- the Department of
Entomology at Penn State University.
Penn State actually has batted 0-for-3 with its attempted
cover-ups of my specimens: First, its Department of Paleontology
(Roger Cuffey); Second, its Department of Anthropology (Robert
Eckardt). Third, its Department of Entomology (Charles Pitts).
===========================================
One of the specimens found between anthracite veins was positively
identified as petrified bone by the Yerkes Regional Primate Research
Center at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., which Krogman described as
"the most prestigious institution of its kind in the world."
Jeremy Dahl, one of its bone experts who examined and tested it,
even put it in writing and signed his name, also making a drawing
of the specimen that he had examined and tested..

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/YERKES2.TIF

Dahl definitely had examined the specimen's cell structure because
he had cut off a slice while it was is possession.

Here are what appear to be petrified eggs. About eight of them
were found together more than 200 feet below the original
surface of the ground (on the side wall of a stripping pit).

Here's Raymond Dart's letter:
===============================================
28 October, 1983
Dear Mr. Conrad:
This is being written as a follow-up to our meeting here in
Philadelphia on Saturday, Oct. 15, during which I had the
opportunity to examine many of the rock-like objects you
had discovered in the coal fields of Pennsylvania, near
Shenandoah.
In my opinion, the vast majority bear the contour of bone
and may well be petrified bone.
I was particularly intrigued by one of your specimens which
I agree bears a distinct resemblance to a dainosaur head
or a homind skullcap, heavily petrified.
Based on our vast ignorance about vulconology, as regards
both anatomy and anthropology, I am of the opinion that your
findings definitely warrant intense investigation by that subject's
foremost experts, especially here in America where so many
volcanic disturbances occur even today.
Yours sincerely,

The Scientific Establishment -- led by its worldwide brood of
arrogant, defiant tenured fossils -- has long been treating
John Q. Public, and his kids, like a jackass, promoting fairy tales
and molesting truth.
Over the past 22 years, it has engaged in deceit, deception, collusion
and conspiracy -- of MONUMENTAL proportions -- and one of the
ringleaders has been the Smithsonian Institution.

No question, members of the scientific establishment academia
-- professors, students and alumni -- have long been fearful
of me and my discoveries because of the dire consequences
they realized what truth would bring.
And well they should have been because now that time has
come. They're finally being put in their place and recognized
for the total disgrace to science that they have been.
NOW they're not just *afraid* of Ed Conrad. They're terrified.

Man as Old as Coal
and
Proof of Life After Death
LIFE'S TRUE BEGINNINGS Lloyd Pye (www.lloydpye.com)
Framing The Picture
How did life begin on Earth? More intellectual and literal blood has been shed
and spilled attempting to answer this question than any other in any aspect of
science or religion. Why? Because the answer, if it could be determined beyond
doubt, would reveal to us the deepest meanings behind ourselves and all that we
see around us. More importantly, it would demolish once and for all the thorny
tangle of conscious and unconscious thought and belief that causes most of the
bloodshed.
At present there are only two socially acceptable explanations for how life has
come to be on Earth. Science insists it has developed by entirely natural means,
using only the materials at hand on the early planet, with no help from any
outside source, whether that source be divine or extraterrestrial. Religion
insists with equal fervor that life was brought into existence whole and
complete by a divine Creator called by different names by the world s various
sects. Between these two diametrically opposed viewpoints there is no overlap,
no common ground where negotiation might be undertaken. Each considers its own
position to be totally correct and the other totally wrong, a certainty
bolstered by the fact that each can blow gaping holes in the logic/dogma of the
other.
Science is quick to point to the overwhelming technical proofs that life could
not, and indeed did not, appear whole and complete within the restricted time
frame outlined in the Biblical account. Of course, people of faith are immune
to arguments based on fact or logic. Faith requires that they accept the
Biblical account no matter how dissonant it might be with reality. Besides, they
can show that not a shred of tangible evidence exists to support the notion that
any species can transmute itself into another species given enough time and
enough positive genetic mutations, which is the bedrock of Charles Darwin s
theory of incremental evolution, or "gradualism."
In the early 1800's Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands and noticed certain
species had developed distinct adaptations for dealing with various
environmental niches found there. Finch beaks were modified for eating fruit,
insects, and seeds; tortoise shells were notched and unnotched for high-bush
browsing and low-bush browsing. Every variation clearly remained part of the
same root stock--finches remained finches, tortoises remained tortoises--but
those obvious modifications in
isolated body parts led Darwin to the logical assumption that entire bodies
could change in the same way over vastly more time. Voila! Gradualism was
conceived and, after gestating nearly three decades, was birthed in 1859 with
the publication of the landmark On The Origin Of Species. Since then Darwin and
his work have been topics of intense, usually acrimonious debate between science
and religion.
The irony of a two-party political system whose members spend the majority of
their time shooting holes in each other s policies is that it becomes abundantly
clear to everyone beyond the fray that neither side knows what the hell it is
talking about. Yet those standing outside the
science-religion fray do not grow belligerent and say, "You re both wrong. An
idiot can see that. Find another explanation." No! In this emotionally charged
atmosphere nearly everyone seems compelled to choose one side or the other, as
if seeking a more objective middle ground would somehow cause instant
annihilation. Such is the psychological toll wrought on all of us by the
take-no-prisoners attitude of the two sides battling for our hearts and minds
regarding this issue.
Facts Will Be Facts
Because those of faith insist on being immune to arguments based on facts, they
remove themselves from serious discussions of how life might have actually come
to be on Earth. So if anyone reading this has a world view based on divine
revelation, stop here and move on to something else. You will not like (to say
the least!) what you are about to read. Nor, for that matter, will those who
believe what science postulates is beyond any valid doubt. As it turns out, and
as was noted above, neither side in this two-party system knows what the hell it
is talking about.
To move ahead, we must assign a name to those who believe life spontaneously
sprang into existence from a mass of inorganic chemicals floating about in the
early Earth s prebiotic seas. Let's call them "Darwinists," a term often used
for that purpose. Darwinists have dealt themselves a difficult hand to play
because those prebiotic seas had to exist at a certain degree of coolness for
the inorganic chemicals floating in them to bind together into complex
molecules. Anyone who has
taken high school chemistry knows that one of the best ways to break chemical
bonds is to heat them.
Given that well-known reality, Darwinists quickly postulated that the first
spark of life would no doubt have ignited itself sometime after the continental
threshold was reached around 2.5 billion years ago. At that point land would
have existed as land and seas would have existed as seas, though not in nearly
the same shapes we know them today. But the water in those seas would have been
cool enough to allow the chemical chain reactions required by "spontaneous
animation." So among
Darwinists there arose a broad consensus that the spontaneous animation of life
had to have occurred (again, because they do not allow for the possibility of
outside intervention, divine or extraterrestrial), and it had to have occurred
no earlier than the continental threshold of 2.5 billion
years ago.
These assumptions were believed and taught worldwide with a fervor that leaves
religious fundamentalists green with envy. Furthermore, they were taught as
facts because that is what science inevitably does. It reaches a consensus about
a set of assumptions in a field it has not fully mastered, then those
assumptions are believed as dogma and taught as facts until the real facts
become known. Sometimes such consensus "facts" endure for a short time (Isaac
Newton's assumption that the speed of light was a relative measure lasted only
200 years), while others
endure like barnacles on the underside of our awareness (the universe doggedly
expands beyond every finite measure given for it).
In the same way Newton s fluctuating speed of light was overturned by Albert
Einstein s theory of relativity, the continental threshold origin of life was
blown out of the water, so to speak, by discoveries in the 1970's that indicated
life s origins were much older than anticipated. So old, in
fact, it went back nearly to the point of coalition, 4.5 billion years ago, when
the Sun had ignited and the protoplanets had taken the general shapes and
positions they maintain today. Ultimately, 4.0 billion years became the new
starting point for life on Earth, based on fossilized stromatolites discovered
in Australia that dated to 3.6 billion years old.
For Darwinists that meant going from the frying pan into the fire, literally,
because at 4.0 billion years ago the proto-Earth was nothing but a seething
cauldron of lava, cooling lava, and steam, about as far from an incubator for
incipient life as could be imagined. In short, right out of the
gate, at the first crack of the bat, Charles Darwin was, as they say in the
south, a blowed-up peckerwood.
Limbo Of The Lost
The fossilized stromatolites discovered in Australia had been produced by the
dead bodies of billions of prokaryotic bacteria, the very first life forms known
to exist on the planet. They are also by far the simplest, with no nucleus to
contain their DNA. Yet in relative terms prokaryotes are
not simple at all. They are dozens of times larger than a typical virus, with
hundreds of strands of DNA instead of the five to ten of the simplest viruses.
So it is clear that prokaryotes are extremely sophisticated creatures relative
to what one would assume to be the very first self-animated life form, which can
plausibly be imagined as even smaller than the smallest virus.
(By the way, viruses do not figure into this scenario because they are not
technically "alive" in the classic sense. To be fully alive means having the
ability to take nourishment from the immediate environment, turn that
nourishment into energy, expel waste, and reproduce indefinitely.
Viruses need a living host to flourish, though they can and do reproduce
themselves when ensconced in a suitable host. So it seems safe to assume hosts
precede viruses in every case.)
Needless to say, the discovery of fossilized prokaryotes at 3.6 billion years
ago left scientists reeling. However, because so many of their pet
theories had been overturned in the past, they knew how to react without
panic or stridency. They made a collective decision to just whistle in
the dark and move on as if nothing had changed. And nothing did. No
textbooks were rewritten to accommodate the new discovery. Teachers
continued to teach the spontaneous animation theory as they had been
doing for decades. The stromatolites were consigned to the eerie limbo
where all OOPARTS (out-of-place artifacts) dwell, while scientists edgily
anticipated the next bombshell.
They didn t have to wait long. In the late 1980's a biologist named Carl
Woese discovered that not only did life appear on Earth in the form of
prokaryotes at around 4.0 billion years ago, there was more than one kind!
Woese found that what had always been considered a single
creature was in fact two distinct types he named archaea and true bacteria.
This unexpected, astounding discovery made one thing clear
beyond any shadow of doubt: Life could not possibly have evolved on
Earth. For it to appear as early as it did in the fossil record, and to consist
of two distinct and relatively sophisticated types of bacteria, meant
spontaneous animation flatly did not occur.
This discovery has been met with the same resounding silence as the
stromatolite discovery. No textbooks have been rewritten to
accommodate it. No teachers have changed what they are teaching. If you
can find a high school biology teacher that religious fundamentalists
have not yet terrorized into silence, go to their classroom and you will find
them blithely teaching that spontaneous animation is how life came to
be on Earth. Mention the words "stromatolite" or "prokaryote" and you will
get frowns of confusion from teacher and students alike. For all
intents and purposes this is unknown information, withheld from those who
most need to know about it because it does not fit the currently
accepted paradigm built around Charles Darwin s besieged theory of
gradualism.
Outside Intervention
The ongoing, relentless assaults on gradualism by religious
fundamentalists is the principle reason scientists can t afford to
disseminate these truths through teaching. If fundamentalists would keep their
opinions and
theories inside churches, where they belong, scientists would be far
more able (if not inclined) to acknowledge where reality does not coincide
with their own theories. But because fundamentalists stand so
closely behind them, loudly banging on the doors of their own bailiwick,
schools, scientists have no choice but to keep them at bay by any
means possible, which includes propping up an explanation for life s
origins that has been bankrupt for more than two decades.
Another reason scientists resist disseminating the truth is that it would so
profoundly change the financial landscape for many of them. Consider
the millions and billions of tax dollars and foundation grants that are spent
each year trying to answer one question: Does life exist beyond
Earth? The reality of two types of prokaryotes appearing suddenly, virtually
overnight, at around 4.0 billion years ago provides overwhelming
testimony that the answer is "Yes!" Clearly life could not have
spontaneously animated from inorganic chemicals in seas comprised of
seething lava rather than relatively cool water. So billions of dollars of
funding would
vanish if scientists ever openly conceded that life must have come to
Earth from somewhere else because it obviously could not have originated
here.
A third reason scientists avoid disseminating this knowledge is that
spontaneous animation is a fundamental tenet of their corollary theory of
human evolution. As with life in general, scientists insist that humanity is a
product of the same protracted series of gradual genetic mutations
that they feel produced every living thing on Earth. And, again, all this has
been done by natural processes within the confines of the planet, with
no outside intervention of any kind, divine or extraterrestrial. So, if
spontaneous animation goes out the window, then the dreaded specter of
outside intervention comes slithering in to take its place, and that idea is so
anathema to scientists they would rather deal with the myriad
embarrassments caused by their blowed-up icon and his clearly bankrupt
theory.
So What Is The Answer?
Life came to Earth from somewhere else--period. It came to Earth whole
and complete, in large volume, and in two forms that were invulnerable
to the most hostile environments imaginable. Given those proven,
undeniable realities, it is time to make the frightening mental leap that few if
any scientists or theologians have been willing or able to make: Life was
seeded here! There...it s on the table...life was seeded here.... The
Earth hasn t split open. Lightening bolts have not rained down. Time
marches on. It seems safe to discuss the idea further.
If life was actually seeded here, how might that have happened? By
accident....or (hushed whisper) deliberately? Well, the idea of accidental
seeding has been explored in considerable detail by a surprising number
of non-mainstream thinkers and even by a few credentialed scientists
(British astronomer Fred Hoyle being perhaps the most notable). The
"accidental seeding" theory is called panspermia, and the idea behind it
is that bacterial life came to Earth on comets or asteroids arriving from
planets where it had existed before they exploded and sent pieces
hurtling through space to collide some millennia later with our just-forming
planet.
A variation of this theory is called directed panspermia, which replaces
comets and asteroids with capsules launched by alien civilizations to
traverse space for millennia and deliberately home in on our just-forming
planet. However, the idea of conscious direction from any source
beyond the confines of Earth is as abhorrent to science as ever, so
directed panspermia has received little better than polite derision from the
establishment. But for as blatantly as undirected panspermia defies the
scientific tenet that all of life begins and ends within the confines of
Earth, it is marginally acceptable as an alternative possibility. There have
even been serious, ongoing attempts to try to determine if the raw
materials for life might be found in comets.
The point to note here is that no one wants to step up to the plate and
suggest the obvious, which is that some entity or entities from
somewhere beyond our solar system came here when it was barely formed
and for whatever reason decided to seed it with two kinds of
prokaryotes, the hardiest forms of bacteria we are aware of and, for all we
know, are creatures purposefully designed to be capable of
flourishing in absolutely any environment in the universe. (Understand that
prokaryotes exist today just as they did 4.0 billion years
ago...unchanged, indestructible, microscopic terminators with the unique
ability to turn any hell into a heaven. But more about that in a moment.)
If we take the suggested leap and accept the notion of directed-at-the-
scene panspermia, we are then confronted with a plethora of follow-up
questions. Were all of the planets seeded, or just Earth? Why Earth? Why
when it was a seething cauldron? Why not a couple billion years later,
when it was cooled off? Good questions all, and many more like them can
be construed. But they all lead away from the fundamental issue of
why anyone or (to be fair) anything would want to bring life here in the first
place, whether to the proto-Earth or to any other protoplanet? And this
brings us to the kicker, a question few of us are comfortable contemplating:
Is Earth being deliberately terraformed?
Welcome To The Ant Farm
The concept of terraforming does indeed conjure up images from the
recent movie "Antz." Nevertheless, for all we know that is exactly what we
humans--and all other life forms, for that matter--are, players on a stage that
seems immense to us, but (visualize the camera pulling back at the
end of "Antz") in reality is just a tiny orb swirling through the vastness of a
seemingly infinite universe. An unsettling and even unlikely scenario,
but one that has to be addressed. Well, so what? What if we are just bit
players in a cosmic movie that has been filming for 4.0 billion years?
As long as we are left alone to do our work and live our lives in relative
peace, where is the harm in it?
Is this fantastic notion really possible? Is it even remotely plausible?
Consider the facts as we know them to be, not what we are misled into
believing by those we trust to correctly inform us. The simple truth is that
life
came to our planet when it (Earth) had no business hosting anything
but a galactic-level marshmallow roast. The life forms that were brought, the
two prokaryotes, just happen to be the simplest and most durable
creatures we are aware of. And, most important of all, they have the unique
ability to produce oxygen as a result of their metabolic processes.
Why oxygen? Why is that important? Because without an oxygen-based
atmosphere life as we currently know it is impossible. Of course,
anaerobic organisms live perfectly well without it, but they would not make
good neighbors or dinner companions. No, oxygen is essential for
complex life as we know it, and quite possibly is necessary for higher life
forms everywhere. If that is the case, if oxygen is the key ingredient for
life throughout the universe, then from a terraformer s perspective bringing
a load of prokaryotes to this solar system 4.0 billion years ago
begins to make a lot of sense.
Let s put ourselves in their shoes (or whatever they wear) for a moment.
They are a few million or even a few billion years into their life cycle as
a species. Space and time mean nothing to them. Traversing the universe
is like a drive across Texas to us...a bit long but easily doable. So as
they travel around they make it a point to look for likely places to establish
life, and 4.0 billion years ago they spot a solar system (in this case
ours) forming off their port side. They pull a hard left and take it all in. At
that
point every protoplanet is as much a seething cauldron as the
proto-Earth, so they sprinkle prokaryotes on all of them in the hope that one
or more will allow them to flourish.
What the terraformers know is that if the prokaryotes ultimately prevail, then
over time trillions of them will produce enough oxygen to, first, turn
all of the cooling planet s free iron into iron-oxide (rust). Once that is
done...
after, say, a billion years (which, remember, means nothing to the
terraformers)...oxygen produced by the prokaryotes will be free to start
saturating the waters of the seas and the atmosphere above. When
enough of that saturation occurs (say, another billion years), the
terraformers can begin to introduce increasingly more complex life forms to
the
planet.
This might include, for example, eukaryotes, Earth s second life form,
another single-celled bacteria which clearly appeared (rather than
evolved) just as suddenly as the prokaryotes at (surprise!) around 2.0
billion years ago. Eukaryotes are distinctive because they are the first life
form with a nucleus, which is a hallmark of all Earth life except prokaryotes.
We humans are eukaryotic creatures. But those second immigrants
(which, like prokaryotes, exist today just as they did when they arrived)
were much larger than their predecessors, more fragile, and more
efficient at producing oxygen.
After establishing the first portion of their program, the terraformers wait
patiently while the protoplanet cools enough for "real" life forms to be
introduced. When the time is right, starting at around half a billion years
ago, higher life forms are introduced by means of what today is called
the "Cambrian Explosion." Thousands of highly complex forms appear
virtually overnight, males and females, predators and prey, looking like
nothing alive at present. This is what actually happened.
The terraformers continue to monitor their project. They notice Earth suffers
periodic catastrophes that eliminate 50% to 90% of all higher life
forms. (Such mass extinction events have in fact occurred five times, the
last being the Cretaceous extinction of 65 million years ago, which
wiped out the dinosaurs). They wait a few thousand years after each event
while the planet regains its biotic equilibrium, then they restock it
with new plants and animals that can make their way in the post-
catastrophe environment. (This, too, is actually borne out by the fossil
record,
which scientists try to explain away with a specious addendum to
Darwinism called "punctuated equilibrium.")
For as outrageous as the above scenario might seem at first glance, it does
account for the real, true, literal evidence much better than either
Darwinism or Creationism ever have...or ever will. This produces the bitterest
irony of the entire debate. With pillars of concrete evidence
supporting outside intervention as the modus for life s origins on Earth, the
concept is ignored to the point of suppression in both scientific or
religious circles. This is, of course, understandable, because to discuss it
openly might give it a credibility neither side can afford at present.
Both have their hands quite full maintaining the battle against each other,
so the last thing either side wants or needs is a third wheel trying to
crash their party. However, that third wheel has arrived and is rolling their
way.
